To all/whom 'vl t ma concern:

Be it known t at I, Mom'nssmz mn a, citizen of. the United States, residing at 05;

.Afn eles, in the county ,of Los Angeles, State 0 alifornie, have invented newend useful Improvements in Soep, of which the follovvin% lis e specification. 1

iisinv'ention relates toe soap especially adapted for use in laundry work. The object of this invention is to provide a soap which includes a cleansing, bleach imi and sourin agent. n commercia. laundry work in addition to soap, itis usual to use sodium cerbonete as a cleansing agent, then to use some agent for bleaching, and finally to use-a souring agent. -and bluing. Cleansing, bleaching and souring each is'a separate operation, andrequire aratefapperetus.

t is an ob ect of the laundry all in one operation.

The ingredients of my soap are the .Ordi nary laundry soap comprising alkali and fat, and a washing crystal, which includes a cleansing, bleaching and smiling agent.

The wa'shin crystal is produced by com bining ,the fol owing ingredients in substantially the proportions specified, and in the sodium cerbonete, 2.55% ummonium' hydroxid, 1.75% acetic acid. The ammonium ydroxid is 11.66% solution and the acetic acid 80%. In practice, the water, acetic acid, and ammonium hydroxid can be most conveniently measured b voluine.

The method of combining the ingredients 1 is as follows, specific quantities bein given:

150 gallons of lukewarm water of 0, out degrees is placed in 'a tank. 500 pounds of pure soda ash, 58%, light, is theti placed 111 the water and a 'tated until a clear solu tion is obtained.

he soda ash is preferably screened to break up lumps and to thoroughlymix it. Next, a combination of am monium h droxid and acetic {acid is ohteined. T 's combination is produced by placing 61 gallons of pure ammonium h drox'id in a vessel, referebly of earthenwere. 3% gallons 0 f acetic acid is then added to the ammonium bydroxid and thoroughly mixed therewith. Care should be Specification of Letters ratent.

The work is completed by rinsing.

my invention to provide a soap which Will cleanse, bleach and sour of alkali and fat, as then made.

observed in making this mixture on account of the heating action, which occurs due to the chemical restctioi'l between the emmoniuln hydroxid and acetic acid. The combinetion of acid end hydroxid is see poured into the solution of sodium carbon ate and the whole slightly stirred. The s0- lotion above described is made up in one hirge tanlr and then removed into chalkinpans; Where it ire-permitted to remain. for two or three days, when. the whole mess will heve crystallized.

'e The pens are preferably constructed of ,tin to prevent detrimental chemicalreaction ."between the solutionand the material of the pens.

The ammonium 'hydrozndand acetic acid.

ere in such quentities' thetthe mixture con teins an excess of ammonia. The resulting mixture contains, ammonia dies lutlon and ammonium acetate,

The mixture of the sodium carbonate solution, and the acctieecid and ammonium hydnoxid solution produces crystals which contain sodium carbonate, free ammonia, and sodium acetate. The sodium acetate serves as an agent to x'ieutrelizc any odors in the clothes.

A soap including the ordin'e. y in redients I bile-still in the mixer'the or stale areedd' in the proportions by w'eig t df"ebout'43% crystals and 57% soap, thus seems oi '15 pounds of the above described-crystals are added to ounds of soap. The crystals and soap are t en thorou ly mixed. until the crystals arecoinpletely'uiseolred; Thesbnp is then removed to the forms and driedlin the usual manner. The resultinglcornposition is pure white in color, roger ose of. the color of the seep body.

A test of. a sample soap so made and of the crginal moisture shows the followolved in so ing: The ingredients of theerjsudsis sub stantielly unchanged. sodium steaiate 50.72%, nnistfn'ej 11.90%, sodium carbonate. jet ammonia 1.79%, and sodiuxn 'acen x This finished prod?! dead in place of the ordinary eoapngl ing, it bleaches end" s dui sf-thc' laundry, thereby doing R-WhjfWl;l l the necessity of Tt'ej es contains eition to cleansseparate steps of bleaching and souring, as

well as the apparatus required to carry out those steps.

What I claim is:

1. A composition of matter, comprising a soap, water, sodium carbonate, sodium acetate and ammonium acetate.

2. A composition of matter comprising ingradients in substantially the following proportions: soap 50.72%, moisture 11.90%, sodium carbonate 32.39%, ammonium acetate 1.79%, and sodium acetate 8.20%.

In witness that I claim the foregoin I have hereunto subscribed my name this 1 th day of January, 1917.
